  • There's a hole in this country where its heart used to be
    And Old Glory's divided, on fire in the street
    They say Buildin' Back Better will make America great
    If that's a wave of the future, all I've got to say

    Stick your progress where the sun don't shine
    Keep your big mess away from me and mine
    If you leave us alone, well, we'd all be just fine
    Stick your progress where the sun don't shine

    They invite the whole world to come live in our land
    And leave our countrymen dyin' in Afghanistan
    They say, "Let go of Jesus and let government save
    You can have back your freedoms if you do what we say"

    Stick your progress where the sun don't shine
    Keep your big mess away from me and mine
    If you leave us alone, well, we'd all be just fine
    Stick your progress where the sun don't shine

    They shut down our pipelines and they shut down our voices
    They shut down our main streets and they shut down our choices
    They bent us all over, but it's all over now
    'Cause we've figured it out
    We ain't backin' down

    Stick your progress where the sun don't shine
    Keep your big mess away from me and mine
    If you leave us alone, well, we'd all be just fine
    Stick your progress where the sun don't shine
    Where the sun don't shine
    Where the sun don't shine
    Where the sun don't shine Writer/s: Jeffrey Steele, John D. Rich, Vicky Lynn McGehee
